Jul 10, 2017, 00:34

Coming to the crease with England wobbling at 2/10, he saw off the new ball, built partnerships with Gary Ballance and Ben Stokes, and, in the last session of the day, accelerated his scoring rate to finish the day unbeaten on 184 from 227 balls.

No South African batsmen was able to get away from them as Joe Root did on day one.

South Africa's 12 for one became 12 for two when Elgar (two) drilled a return catch to Ali.

The introduction of Moeen Ali came soon after and he removed Elgar via a brilliant reflex catch off a well-struck drive. Moeen accepted a firm straight drive from Dean Elgar off his own bowling, as well as an inappropriate pull from Duminy at square leg to ensure that when tea was being sipped the England players could contemplate drinking something stronger later in the evening. The speed of England's demise seemed to have ruled out the possibility of a draw with more than 50 over remaining in the fourth day.

But Moeen Ali, who ended with 87, shepherded Stuart Broad through 46 runs for the eighth wicket, before the paceman and his great friend Jimmy Anderson shredded the South African bowling figures while putting on 45 runs in 27 balls for the last wicket.

JP Duminy, who wears the look of man bereft of any confidence, played an ugly and nervy innings, and having gotten off the mark with a neat clip through the covers then played an bad pull shot, hitting the ball straight to Moeen at square leg.

Maharaj should have had Jonny Bairstow for seven, but Vernon Philander put down a straightforward chance at long-off.

Rabada landed in trouble with match referee Jeff Crowe for swearing at Stokes in the first innings.

Morkel claimed three victims and Keshav Maharaj four as England failed to force the pace.
